“INORTALS VST BELGAN ACADENY Tradition Broken for Partici- pation in Anniversary Cere- monies in Brussels. PARIS (N.AN.A).—The other day, for the first time in the history of the Academie Francaise, the “Immor- tals” set out in a body, resplendent in their green uniforms, to take part in a number of official ceremonies in Brussels. They were the guests of the Belgian Academy, at whose home ih the Chateau de Marimont they were entertained. The Relgian Royal Academy of French Language and Literature is celebrating the tenth anniversary of its founding, and began its festivities in a most auspicious manner by getting the Immortals to break with age-long tradition and leave their home on the banks of the Seine to come a-visiting collectively. Some of the older and more _conservative members are still waggthg their heads about it. French Academy Car. But this is not all. The French Academy is to have a new car. The old landau which has been in service ever since it paid its first visit to the Elysee in 1879 made its last official appearance when it bore thither the newly elected members. M. Andre Chaumeix and M. Le Goffic. The coach is to be replaced by an up-to-date limousine, which might well have borne M. Chaumeix, for like that sign of the times and tribute to the all-conquering speed, he 1s himself a break with tradition. M. Chaumeix, for 30 years chief leader, writer and political” director of the Journal Des Debats, elected to the seat rendered vacant by the death of M. Clemenceau, was the first journalist to be accorded the highest literary honcr in France for his journalistic work alone. The academy thus gave his journal- ism the authoritative hall mark of literature. ‘The age of speed is having its way with the academy’s great jobs, too. Ever since its foundation in 1635 the academy has been engaged upon the dictionary. The first eaition did not appear until 1694, the seventh came out in 1878 and last month saw the green paper wrapper of the first volume-| of the eighth almost disappearing beneath appropriate ceremonial speeches. Volumes Available in 1934, But the two volumes of this complete edition are to be available in 1934, and the 40 great gentlemen are now tack- ling the early letters of the alphabet for the ninth edition. The grammar, moreover, is expected by the end of this menth or early in July, for its proofs are already being considered. Richelieu, it will be remembered, wanted the academy to “Rediger un dictionnaire, une rhetorique, une po- etique et une grammaire,” and until our own day the dictionary had been the only one of these works to be un- dertaken, fcr all the Thursday after- noons that the members have been call- ing their “meetings for work” since the days of Louis XII. Wedding Performed In Foreign Tongue Surprises Groom HULL, England (N.AN.A).— Sued for support for his wife, a native of -Malta, Ernest Ager pleaded he didn't know he was married. “The ceremony was per- formed by & foreign minister,” he explained, “and I didn’t under- stand what was going on.” It appears he will have to pay, anyhow. ; , 1930, by North American ARC LIGHT REFLECTION MELTS METAL IN TEST Swedish Engineers Utilize Ancient Burning Mirror Idea in Industry. STOCKHOLM (#).—In the Artillery Museum of Stockholm there is an ancient burning mirror of large dimen- sions, formerly used by the Swedish army as a means of defense against hostile ships. The mirror was placed in the sun so its reflection set fire to the vessels approaching Sweden’s shore. A scientific adaption of the burning mirror has been made by two Swedish sclentists, who constructed a powerful melting furnace, using an elliptical mirror and a strong electric arc light. During a demonstration of the fur- nace before the Society of Physical Re- search the inventors obtained heat enough to melt a metal with the melt- ing point of about 2,100 degrees centi- grade.

The icebreaker will have a doctor on board and a short-wave radio station. Fa- cilities will be provided for the collec- tion of Arctic plants.
